Breaking Down Italy’s World Cup 2014 Group Stage Opponents

Before a name had even been pulled out of the bowl at FIFA’s glorified Bingo hall, manager Cesare Prandelli called the World Cup draw “ridiculous,” in a Gazzetta dello Sport interview. It’s a sentiment many others—inside the game and out—would echo.  Italy are currently ranked seventh in the world, but thanks to a logic only understood by those...

England’s World Cup Draw Promises Excitement and Gives Three Lions a Chance

I’m delighted with England’s draw at the World Cup. There are a lot of people already saying they won’t get out of their group, but here are some reasons for hope. Firstly, England get their major travel out of the way early. It’s 4,271 kilometres from Rio to Manaus, where they’ll play Italy on June 14, and after that Roy Hodgson’s team are only a short flight from... 

USMNT’s Biggest Weakness Must Become Their Greatest Strength in Brazil

By now, you know who the United States will be playing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but it is time to question how the Americans will play in Brazil come June.  Against three very good attacking sides, the American defense must be stronger than ever, but strong is not an adjective that many would use to describe the back four of the Yanks.  Jurgen Klinsmann’s team will be able to get...
